A Comparative Study in Metalloorganic Structural Chemistry: the X-ray Crystal Structures of [HB{C3N2H-3,5-(CH3)2}3Zr(OC6H5)3] and [HB{C3N2H-3,5-(CH3)2}3Zr(OC6H4-2-F)3]

The complexes [ZrL(OC6H4-2-X)3] (L- = HB{3,5-Me2C3HN2}3-, X = H (1), F (2)) are compared structurally with analogous precedents. Whilst the {LZr}3+ moiety possesses formal or pseudo-C3v symmetry in both cases, the phenoxide ligands adopt a wide variety of attitudes thereto, which appear to be driven mainly by packing forces.
